Consider how you’ll finance your purchases and come up with the down payment.

but, it's not going to be "profitable" for several years, depending on how you define profit.you'll have a down payment, then closing costs - which new investors always seem to be shocked by - then potentially some costs to get a property rent ready, then you'll pay a month's rent to get it listed and rented out, then you'll likely have some repairs after the tenant moves in.  

@Carini Rochester I agree with Greg but to be clear Good Cause does not require a landlord to provide free housing, it just forces them go through the onerous and expensive and lengthy process of actually going for non payment eviction instead of a hold over proceeding, when the landlord knows that a monetary judgement is worthless and just wants possession of their rental unit back so they can fix it back up and rent it again hopefully to a great tenant.Also the problem with all this is that from 2019 to now, landlords have gotten used to having economically or physically vacant units and have priced that risk in. 

Your strategy of partnering for the down payment is exactly what I’m working toward—leveraging relationships to make things happen.

A one-off property in Newark is either going to get you 15 percent payment or terrible PM unfortunately.

Even if you didn't manage them, your management payments would be astronomical because it would be unlikely they are all in the same area.

The debt may not report to your personal credit (unless you are late on or miss payments, then all bets are off)2.

You can use a low down payment to get into a house and have renters help with your mortgage.

Well based on that logic, home inspections cost money too and I could save towards my next down payment by skipping those.
